I’ ve found a bug in the Date-time component. In the application when I want to edit a date I use this date-time component. It works correctly. The problem arises when once I have edited and set a date I want to delete it and leave it blank. It is not possible when using the control (x icon) of the component apparently leaves it blank but the value that stays in the associated spreadsheet is 0 and shows the date 30 December 1989. In other words, once a date has been set, it cannot be deleted and left blank. You have to do it directly in the spreadsheet. Attached is an image sequence 1.- Data sheet before change: ![Screenshot 2020-06-06 at 13.51.56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/8/8ae6546ca85c064d7c24ce104ee1e159ce2a3448.jpeg) 2.- Date-time in glide app ![Screenshot 2020-06-06 at 13.53.25](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/6/6271888f78a57f9525031fc095cfe163909c2222.jpeg) 3.- I push x icon to clear date-time ![Screenshot 2020-06-06 at 13.53.40](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/55b5b9fa08793f518a81b83572e82188eff51610.jpeg) 4.- glide apps after clear date-time ![Screenshot 2020-06-06 at 13.53.56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/e/eab59c0b62b2a0f8dbdd773be4a4f463cd6321bd.jpeg) 5.- Data shows in google sheet after clearing ![Screenshot 2020-06-06 at 13.54.16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/e/ee5ad619318ad6850650ac7842ef8de3c7321778.jpeg) 6.- Data shows in glide app: ![Screenshot 2020-06-06 at 13.54.35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/9/92fd4eedc9d5e5a0dbd19e98ebcfcf50008598a3.jpeg) Thanks in advance Jesús R.

However, considering there might be instances where folks accidentally select this or realize they aren’t complete, we are realizing there isn’t a way to “Clear” the date/time field.
